    STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA JUSTICE COMMITTEE; ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
    Respondents - Appellees.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

    Judge. (CA-96-1826)
    Submitted:

    December 11, 1997

    Decided:

    December 24, 1997

    Before HALL and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior


    Circuit Judge.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    David I. Lucas, Appellant Pro Se.
    Donald John Zelenka, Chief
    Deputy Attorney General, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
    his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.
    1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion
    accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no
    reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
    Lucas v. State of South Carolina Justice Committee, No. CA-96-1826
    (D.S.C. Feb. 18, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the
    facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
    process.

    DISMISSED
